Clevercell Very disappointing...
Steineded How sad is this?
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
studymommy I binge-watched Bad Banks because it was THAT good. It's pretty high-brow i.e. I feel that you need to concentrate to follow what is going on if you are unfamiliar with the banking world; however, you come out of every episode feeling as though you've learnt something. Also, the suspense is great.
darnthatdream It was painful getting through the first Episode. It lacks almost any kind of visual timing, composition, dramatization, choreography and editing concept besides this; every time someone speaks, cut to that person. The overall style is hectic and random. I would estimate an average shot-length of 1,64 seconds. It worked for the opening sequence but from that moment on it became pointless. The acting, camera and soundtrack, is average at best. Two stars for attempting to deal with the topic of the financial world.
Adrian Ieremie Excellent! A great mini series about banks and what goes inside their world. Perfect acting, original screenplay.
albert-balvers Being a Dutchman living in Hamburg, I am not a big fan of German TV-Drama. In many cases it means strange and artificial dialogs, "overacting" and a lot of melodramatic scenes. Bad Banks however is a fantastic series, I am truly amazed how good this German production is. Everything seems to fit: the acting, the scenario, the story in itself, the production design. And what is best, is that they skipped the crazy German synchronisation and let the actors speak in their own mothertongue or dialect. This series is just as good as comparable English or American TV-drama, like recently Billions or (some years ago) Damages, both with similar topics in the financial world. Desiree Nosbusch is great, so is Paula Beer and of course Barry Atsma, with an intensity and authenticity that I have rarely seen before. A good thing that ZDF immediately offered all 6 episodes on their website, because you should simply enjoy a terrific series like this in one long session. 10 out of 10. Excellent!
